And of man this is an amazing set. Those who attended the Convention last month saw them, and I got to spend a little extra time with them filming a video with the Marketing and Design Teams. That will drop when we get closer to the release, but the excitement can start now.

Not buying unless I find them Black Friday shopping. This constant JNC hype is really wearing me out. Time for Hotwheels to find another type of car to hype the hell out of. Don’t get me wrong, I like these Japanese cars but I’m tired of how they are clogging up the hobby.

JNC makes it easy to save a few bucks for something else if you’re not into them. And I’m not either. Too many nice GL and M2 and AW castings to keep me satisfied. but let those who like them enjoy them.

Good luck with Black Friday. I’ll be at home. No way am I going to get mixed up in that mess again. I’ve been involved with Black Friday three times in my life, with one as a stocker at Walmart, and I was tasked with opening the door that morning. I was nearly trampled.

These look fantastic, and I’m really happy they went with cleaner decos for this set. The first set was awesome, but it’s cool to see some more stock-looking paint jobs. As others have mentioned extensively above, I’m doubtful about finding these pegged, so ordering might be the way to go once again. That first Car Culture batch (JH) was the only one that I never saw a single one of in stores…I’ll be curious to see if that’s the case again. I NEVER thought I’d see the Modern Classics batch hanging on the pegs, but they are (Mercedes & Porsche and all)…have they started pumping higher numbers of Car Culture out to the stores?

My comment never posted? Anyway… why a *third* Car Culture RX3?!? Love the casting, but I would much, MUCH rather have seen them make a premium 1970 Toyota Celica… I’ll keep my fingers crossed for “Japan Historics 3” !!

Because the RX-3 only exists as a premium casting so far and the Celica only exists as a mainline one so far.
I’d love to see a plastic base/mainline release for the RX-3 and a metal/premium one for the Celica in the future though.

These are OK. I’ll likely buy them, but I’m not excited. I’m starting to feel a bit of Datsun/Nissan fatigue. Would LOVE to see something new (different). I mean 4 out of 5 are Datsun/Nissans and the Mazda 3 we’ve had in Car Culture before. How about some other Mazdas or Toyotas or Hondas? Even some Suzukis or Daihatsu’s could be interesting.
